WASHINGTON PARK NOTES ] $ $ HOMEWOOD, 111., May 25. Spanish Play, Lightning Bolt, Insco, The Mongol and Conscience, which shipped to Bainbridge Park from Churchill Downs for the Ohio State Derby last Saturday, were unloaded at Washington Park this morning. Spanish Play, Lightning Bolt and The Mongol, which started in the Bainbridge race, came out of it in good condition and with Conscience and Insco will be pointed for the American Derby, to be renewed at Washington Park on June 20. Bonny Bess, Stone and Ruckers juvenile full-sister to Charles T. Fishers Sweep All, which finished second to Twenty Grand in the Kentucky Derby, was among the horses B. B. Williams brought from Kentucky. The daughter of Sweep and Nettie Hastings was fired following a mild campaign at Hialeah Park. Morris Rose, who rode five winners at Churchill Downs Saturday, is here to ride freelance and reports back to the Brown Hotel Stable for the Latonia meeting. Jockeys H. Schute and C. Meyer came from Kentucky with the Audley Farm Stable, while Kay Spence sent C. Callahan to Brainbridge Park with M. Reiser. Jockey C. E. Allen, whose application for a license was tabled by the Illinois Turf Association at the April meeting of that body, was licensed by that board Friday. Allen is here with the H. M. Woolf stable. Some of the most prominent of the Kentucky stables to race at Washington Park arrived at that track this morning. A special of sixteen cars brought the horses of Audley Farm, H. P. Headley, Jack Howard, Frank Carreaud, T. D. Taggart, W. H. Whitehouse, Etowah Stable, Roscoe Goose, E. M. May, Laffoon and Yeiser, C. W. Hay, J. OKeefe, C. N. Lewis, H. M. Woolf, Ward and Burton, Mrs. E. L. Swikard, C. H. Nuckols, R. S. Clark and others. P. Cavanaugh unloaded his public stable of twenty head and J. S. Middleton the Warm Stable of Mason and Hanger at Lincoln Fields. The Four Oaks Stock Farm Stable in charge of W. Caywood was another arrival at the Crete course, to which many of the stables raced at Exposition Park were transferred over the week end. A division of Harry F. Sinclairs Rancocas Stable, to embrace about eighteen horses and some of the Walter J. Salmon racers, are due at Washington Park within the next few days. "Bud" May will direct the racing of the Rancocas horses and Jack Pryce will be in charge of the Salmon stable. The crack Gallant Knight, winner of the Grainger Memorial Handicap at Churchill Downs Saturday, and the American Derby candidates Knights Call, Scotlands Glory and Major Lanphier were among the horses transported from Kentucky in the special that arrived this morning. Gallant Knight and Knights Call are owned by B. B. Jones, master of Audley Farm, while C. W. Hay owns Scotlands Glory, and Major Lanphier races for the Le Bus Brothers. F. F. Brant was an arrival at Lincoln Fields with seven horses raced at Churchill Downs. Sidney Bender, veteran turf official, was a visitor for the Washington Park opening and will make an indefinite stay. Art Goldblatt, who arrived at Lincoln Fields last week with the stable of his father-in-law, J. N. McFadden, Oregon breeder, has the older Marys Toy, Bill Looney, Ellen N., Oregon Citizen and Baby Booter and four two-year-olds to race through the Chicago season. Two of the juveniles are by Freebooter and a like number by Citizen. All were bred at the McFadden ranch at Corvallis, Ore. Mose Goldblatt, who unloaded the C. V. Whitney horses at Washington Park Sunday, reported Jimmy Moran entirely recovered from the lameness that forced him from the Grainger Memorial Handicap at Churchill Downs Saturday. A strained muscle or mild wrench probably caused his short disability. He has engagements in the Francis S. Peabody Memorial Handicap and Robert M. Sweitzer Handicap at Washington Park. Blot, one of the Whitney string, unloaded with a slight temperature but was much improved today.
